Q 5 :    

Given below are two statements: One is lavelled as Assertion (A) and other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Electromagnetic waves carry energy but not momentum.

Reason (R) : Mass of a photon is zero.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options giben below:          [2025]

  • (A) is true but (R) is false.

     

  • (A) is false but (R) is true.

     

  • Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

     

  • Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

     

(2)

EM wave carry both energy and momentum. Restmass of photon is zero.



Q 6 :    

If an optical medium possesses a relative permeability of 10π and relative permittivity of 10.0885, then the velocity of light is greater in vacuum than that in this medium by _______ times. (μ0=4π×107H/m, 0=8.85×1012F/m, c=3×108m/s)          [2025]



6

Since velocity of light in terms of μ and E is

v=1με=1μ0μr×1ε0εr=1μrεr×1μ0ε0

v=1μrεrc10π×10.0885=c36=c6

 c=6v

Velocity of light in vacuum is grater by 6 times the velocity of light in medium.
